I was so scared that I put all my points into health.

At this highly anticipated cosplay event, numerous stunningly successful performances shone like brilliant stars in the night sky. However, interspersed among them were some hilarious failures, like unique ripples on a calm lake. One performer was particularly fond of Yami Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh! To perfectly recreate the character's image, he poured his heart and soul into his black trench coat, investing a considerable sum of money. From material selection to production, he meticulously controlled every step, striving to make it perfectly match Yami Yugi's image. Yet, he ultimately overlooked some seemingly insignificant but crucial details. The length of the trench coat seemed to play a cruel joke on him; it was far too long. With each step, the hem, like a mischievous little snake, would playfully dart under his feet, causing him to stumble occasionally on stage, looking like a toddler learning to walk—a truly comical sight. When he tried to imitate Yami Yugi's unique gaze and mysterious aura, he seemed to overdo it. The wisdom and restrained charm that should have been in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a fierce feeling. It was as if he was trying too hard to show off his uniqueness, but he overdid it and looked like he was deliberately "showing off." Unfortunately, he failed to do so and instead made himself look like a greasy man, which was really a pity.

There was also a middle-aged man who was a huge fan of Master Roshi. The thought of cosplaying Master Roshi filled him with excitement as he threw himself into his preparations. Knowing that Master Roshi's long white hair was one of his iconic features, he sprayed his hair with a lot of sticky gel to achieve the perfect effect. Perhaps he was too obsessed with this look, because he sprayed far too much. As a result, his hair looked like it was covered in a layer of greasy oil, each strand losing its original crispness and becoming tangled in clumps, like weeds swept away by a storm. His uniform, while supposedly meticulously made according to the original design, seemed to be working against him, utterly ill-fitting. The shirt clung tightly to his body, like a poorly made product by a clumsy tailor, looking like it was about to burst with every movement; while the pants were baggy like sacks, hanging loosely on his legs, completely lacking Master Roshi's effortless style. When he began to demonstrate Master Roshi's signature fighting techniques, his posture resembled that of a frail old man practicing Tai Chi—slow, weak, and utterly devoid of power. He completely failed to capture Master Roshi's seemingly lazy exterior masking his immense inner strength, leaving the audience deeply disappointed.

There's also a group claiming to be fans of Guild Master Flin. Within this group is a burly man, who is also the captain of the first team of the Adventurer's Guild. For some reason, this man suddenly felt that portraying Guild Master Winnie would be incredibly interesting. So, he meticulously recreated Guild Master Winnie's robes and accessories. From the fabric of the robes to the style of the accessories, every detail showed he had indeed put in a lot of effort. However, there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between the man's own demeanor and Guild Master Winnie's. When he appeared on stage, he unconsciously displayed a leader's imposing presence. This was completely contrary to Guild Master Winnie's aloof goddess image, like a burly elephant trying to imitate an elegant swan—it just looked incredibly awkward. Moreover, the team members' coordination was riddled with flaws. In the scenario of simulating the guild leader handling guild affairs, they performed like a newly formed ragtag army, flustered and at a loss for what to do, like a group of untrained novices, completely lacking the tacit understanding that a team should have.

There was also a group of young men who were die-hard fans of Fryn, eager to cosplay her. Their love for Fryn bordered on blind obsession; while they meticulously prepared their costumes, they neglected Fryn's inherent characteristics. Fryn is petite, but these young men were all tall and imposing. When they wore Fryn's costumes, they looked like children wearing adult clothes—very disproportionate. Furthermore, during the performance, they seemed overly excited, running around the stage without restraint, completely disregarding Fryn's elegant image and portraying her as a mischievous little boy. When interacting with other characters on stage, they failed to grasp Fryn's personality traits, making the entire performance resemble a few unruly children causing a ruckus—a rather comical sight. However, despite these laughable mishaps, the overall atmosphere of the cosplay event remained vibrant and joyful.

The most anticipated moment was undoubtedly the appearance of Vinnie, the branch leader of the Adventurers' Guild. At that instant, the atmosphere at the entire event seemed to ignite.

She chose to portray the Silent Magician from Yu-Gi-Oh! As she slowly walked out from the side of the stage, the perfect interplay of stage lights and sound effects seemed to illuminate the entire space with her unique charm. She was like a legendary, silent beauty who had stepped out of the mysterious depths of the game world; her appearance was simply breathtaking, as if all beauty had been concentrated in her.

Her attire was exquisite down to the smallest detail. A long, black magician's robe trailed on the ground, its fabric appearing to be crafted from the finest silk. When light fell upon it, it shimmered with a soft, enchanting sheen, as if the twinkling stars of the night sky had been meticulously woven into the fabric by a skilled craftsman. Intricate and mysterious runes were embroidered on the robe with silver thread, flowing like magical trails, each line seemingly whispering ancient and enigmatic tales. Tiny gemstones were inlaid at the collar and cuffs, shimmering with iridescent light under the illumination, like stars twinkling in the night, adding an air of luxury and mystery to the entire outfit.

She wore a tall, pointed hat, also predominantly black, with a huge crystal ball embedded in the top, which became the finishing touch to the entire look. The crystal ball was clear and transparent, with what appeared to be blue flames dancing joyfully inside, like the deep and mysterious source of power of a silent magician, giving people a mysterious and powerful feeling.

Her eyes were like deep lake water, clear yet mysterious. They held an indescribable nobility and aloofness, as if she were a queen standing atop the world, overlooking all things. Her lips were like delicate rose petals, a faint, almost imperceptible smile playing at the corners of her mouth. This smile possessed both the enigmatic allure of a magician and the gentle grace of a woman; these two contrasting qualities blended perfectly within her, captivating all who beheld her.

As she moved, her figure was as light as an elegant black swan. Each step she took seemed to possess a unique rhythm, gently touching the heartstrings of the audience, making their hearts beat involuntarily with her steps. The magic wand in her hand was as exquisite as a fine work of art. The wand was crafted from black crystal, with golden patterns within, patterns that seemed like sealed magical power struggling to burst forth, exuding a mysterious aura. A diamond-shaped ruby ​​was set at the head of the wand, radiating a fiery light that contrasted sharply yet harmoniously with her cool and aloof temperament, complementing each other perfectly and further highlighting her unique charm.

Every movement she made exuded elegance and nobility. Each gesture seemed to wield silent magic. With a gentle wave of her wand, an invisible force seemed to ripple around her, making the air itself mysterious, as if the entire space was enveloped in her magic. She was like a silent magician who had stepped out of a game world, appearing both real and dreamlike on this real stage. Her beauty was breathtaking, leaving everyone present mesmerized, completely captivated by the enchanting atmosphere she created—simply stunning.

President Winnie wasn't just standing quietly on the stage; she had specially learned a song for this event. When the music started, she sang and danced like a shining star. She instantly transformed from her usual aloof goddess image into a captivating and sexy dancer.

Every step she took was full of dynamism, her figure swaying gracefully, as if brought to life by the melody of the music. Her singing voice was as melodious and sweet as a nightingale's, possessing a unique magic that captivated everyone in the audience. Both male and female spectators were ignited by her passion, involuntarily dancing along with her, and the atmosphere in the entire venue quickly became as heated as a powder keg.

President Winnie also interacted enthusiastically with the audience, walking to the front of the stage to high-five them and inviting them to sing along to the high notes of the song. It was as if she were holding her own personal concert, the stage becoming her own vast world, and the audience her most enthusiastic fans.

It's worth mentioning that even the King, Princess, the President of the Adventurers' Guild, the Dean of the Magic Academy, and some high-ranking officials and nobles in the SVIP audience were captivated by President Winnie's singing and rhythm. They, who usually maintained a dignified and serious demeanor, found themselves swaying involuntarily to the music. The King's imposing figure swayed slightly, the Princess's face beamed with joy as she gently swayed her head to the rhythm, the President of the Adventurers' Guild's robust frame seemed to lighten, and the Dean of the Magic Academy appeared as if transported back to his youth, swaying energetically to the music. Even the high-ranking officials and nobles abandoned their usual reserve, immersing themselves in the joyful atmosphere. The entire SVIP audience was like a sea of ​​joy; under President Winnie's influence, everyone was enjoying this wonderful moment.

After careful and meticulous evaluation by the judges, the final results were finally announced, and President Winnie deservedly won first place in the individual award. When the result was announced, she herself was somewhat stunned, seemingly not expecting such an honor. The audience, however, erupted in cheers, expressing their love and recognition for her in the most enthusiastic way.

Upon hearing this result, Vice President Leon, dressed in a Pikachu costume, instantly wore a helpless expression. He wondered to himself, "Am I really going to have to accompany President Vinnie on a day trip to Elparan City?" This outcome felt like an unexpected surprise, yet also a sweet burden, leaving him involuntarily caught in a complex mix of emotions.
